20k on a Dresden Files short story.  Using it for practice. May have another 10k to go.  Seems long for something I'll never get anything out of other than satisfaction/practice/helpful commentary, but thems the breaks.  You gotta do what you gotta do.

I find that 20-30k word fanfiction is very nice for practicing things without needing to create a whole new world and your own characters.

True that.  34k and the story is done.  Have to re-read and complete some edits.  Might even have to drop some sections; we'll see.  There's not much action, but that's the nature of the beast when writing about certain non-wizardly characters.

I have been slack, not reporting my writing recently.

Set In stone has been updated several times:

Chapter 24: 5700 words
Chapter 25: 4400 words
Chapter 26: 5600 words
Chapter 27: 7700 words
Chapter 28: 11200 words
End of Act III

Total word count is now 178,600 words.

Next chapter will be the epilogue, then I'll start to edit for publishing.
